Information About Face and Neck Lift Surgery
The passage of time, gravity, stress, and the harmful effects of the sun gradually invert the triangle of youth on our faces. If you look in the mirror and notice that your cheeks are sagging, your jawline is fading, and the skin on your neck is becoming loose, do not let it get you down. The most expensive creams or non-invasive devices can only do so much. This is exactly where Op. Dr. Buğçe Ballıoğlu Güney steps in, turning back the clock 10-15 years for you with Facelift and Neck Lift surgery.
What is Facelift and Neck Lift Surgery?
A facelift surgery is not simply about pulling back and cutting the sagging skin. In modern and long-lasting facelift techniques, the underlying muscle and fat tissue (the SMAS layer), which is the actual cause of the sagging, is released and repositioned upward to where it belongs. The excess skin is then naturally removed. Banding and fat deposits in the neck area are also addressed during the same operation, resulting in a swan-like, elegant, and tight neck.
Will There Be Visible Scars? Will My Expressions Look Fake?
The most common questions from our patients are, \"Will my face look unnaturally pulled, like I'm standing against the wind?\" or \"Will my surgical scars be visible from a distance?\"
- Scar Evaluation: The incision lines start within the hairline, follow the natural contours of the ear, go behind the earlobe, and end in the lower scalp. With the correct surgical technique, these scars fade over time and become completely hidden within your hair and ear structure.
- Natural Results: Because the underlying muscle layer (SMAS) is what gets tightened, there is no excessive tension on the skin itself. This ensures your facial expressions remain completely natural; people won’t realize you had surgery, they will just tell you how refreshed and youthful you look.
The Recovery Process
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes an average of 3-5 hours. Typically, a 1 or 2-night hospital stay is sufficient. Swelling and mild bruising during the first week are completely normal and will largely subside within 10 days. Within 2-3 weeks, you can comfortably return to your daily social life with a rejuvenated and refreshed face.
Reflect the energy of your soul on your face. Erasing that tired look in the mirror and stepping into lasting youth is in your hands.
